Carl Hiaasen, New York Times best selling author of "Razor Girl", "Bad Monkey" and many others. “Music for Love or War is slash-and-burn funny, but also unexpectedly touching and wise.

Few writers can take you in one breath from the hills of Afghanistan to the gates of the Playboy mansion, and make you believe every crazy word. Martyn Burke has that special talent.”

“Burke has written a beautiful, gripping, and timely story of love, friendship, and war. This is stunning storytelling that will make your heart race, break, then soar.”
—Terry Fallis, author of The Best Laid Plans

“Gripping, hilarious, otherworldly, brutal, heartbreaking. A transcendental tale of love and hope for a post-911 world.”
—Jon Steele, author of The Angelus trilogy

“Burke finds enduring love amid Afghanistan’s endless war and a magical story emerges from the ashes.”
—Paul Watson, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of Where War Lives

“A glorious globetrotting epic spanning class, race, and ethi¬cal borders. Burke’s personal history as a Hollywood filmmaker and combat-zone documentarian makes this book seem less written than lived—it is filled with the crystalline details and hard-earned truths that can only be gained through on-the-ground experience. Burke is a marvel. Read this book.”
—Craig Davidson, author of Giller nominated Cataract City
